I've never used any oil additive but do follow a 5000 mile oil/filter service schedule, which can see the oil changed on the 23rd of Dec.

I've used Techron once in a great while such as after a AOS fed engine some oil or to try to clean engine/o2/converters to help engine pass emissions test.

Suggestion
I managed to get car into my place of work -- during off hours -- where I could change the oil/filter.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

There's only one question you have to ask when considering an additive: "Why doesn't the oil I'm buying already have this?"
Because the oil is better off without it.
Livermore CA and have spotted Swepco oil additive bottle on parts counter as part of a "tune up" kit. Kit includes oil filter, air filter, and oil additive and Swepco gas additivie.
Spoke to shop foreman about this and he said if one doesn't drive car very often or very regularly the Swepco oil treatment helps quiet the engine upon startup. Given I drive my car frequently he advised against using it in my case.
As for the gas additive he says he uses in his car (not a Porsche) every so often to help keep fuel system clean.
I've never used any oil additive but do follow a 5000 mile oil/filter service schedule, which can see the oil changed on the 23rd of Dec. and then again on the 2nd of Jan. as was the case this year when I left on the 24th on a nearly 5000 mile road trip in the car and returned New Year's Eve. I managed to get car into my place of work -- during off hours -- where I could change the oil/filter.
I've used Techron once in a great while such as after a AOS fed engine some oil or to try to clean engine/o2/converters to help engine pass emissions test. I've never used Swepco gas additive, though I might try it to see if I can notice any difference/improvement.
Give the Lucas stuff a miss.
Try Swepco oil additive -- if you're feeling experiemental -- if you do not drive car all that often, if it sits unused long periods of time. I'd be interested in knowing if it does help quiet engine upon cold start.
Sincerely,
Macster.
